Despite Europe’s relative safety, prosperity, and capacity to deal with emergencies without the assistance of international organizations, Malteser International’s role within the Order of Malta network means that it still has an occasional part to play in large-scale emergencies on the continent. At present, Malteser International is working to help people affected by the extreme flooding that caused extensive damage to parts of eastern Germany in 2013, as well as those displaced from their homes by the conflict and instability in eastern Ukraine.
